Career

College and Amateur

Nerkowski was born in the United States, and spent much of his childhood in Rochester New York before spending 2 years in Częstochowa, Poland,[1] before returning to the upstate New York area to attend high school. He played club soccer for Syracuse Blitz Crunch and the Rochester Junior Rhinos, and went on to play college soccer at Pfeiffer University.

During his college career Nerkowski also played in the USL Premier Development League with the Syracuse Salty Dogs and the Cleveland Internationals.[2]

Nerkowski represented the USASA National Team in 2005, 2007, and 2009, composed of some of the country's best collegiate aged players. He represented the USASA National Team in matches against Ireland in 2007 and in 2009.

Professional

Nerkowski turned professional in 2008 with the Wilmington Hammerheads, and made his pro debut on May 10, 2008 in Wilmington's 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace Baltimore.[3] He made 12 appearances in total, and scored one goal for the Hammerheads, before moving to the Western Mass Pioneers in 2009. There he made 18 appearances in total, and scored one goal for the Pioneers.

After the 2009 season, Nerkowski left the club and decided to end playing competitively. He subsequently played for Chicago-based amateur side A.A.C. Eagles given their strong Polish history.[4]
